Neara💜
"Neara it's 7:45 , you don't want to be late on the first day do you?" Said my mother. Today is my first day at Lane Highschool in Los Angeles, California. I'm a Louisiana native but after my mom and dad split my mom felt the need to move me from all of my friends and family for a new start at life. So far California is okay but I don't know how long that will last. "Mom I don't go to school until 9:15 am." Currently I'm a senior dumb to move me my senior year right I even told mom that but she said it'd be better to have a new start at life and explore. I agreed. but enough about that. As I got up to do my hygiene and find clothes to wear I found my old scrap box with old pictures and items that I'd collected since I was younger from friends and family. Times like this make me want to go home but its probably best for me here. I stuffed the box in the top of my closet and found my outfit. I settled on my black high waist ripped jeans with a white tank top, a jacket , and my vans. I went to brush my teeth and got all my things ready to leave. "See you later mom, Love you " I said as I was leaving to go to my car. My school is about a five minute drive from my house and on the way there I decided to stop and get some breakfast on the way. As I pulled up to school I found a park. I went inside the building to find the office before school so I could get my schedule. "Excuse me , My name is Neara Wilson I'm new to Lane High. I was told to come here to get my schedule." When I got my schedule I only had 5 classes. As I was trying to find my way to my classes to look around the bell rang and I'd gotten lost. We had seven minutes to get to our classes and so far I only figured out where two were. As I was looking at the class numbers someone bumped me but quickly said "sorry" and tried to rush off. "Excuse me" I said trying to get her attention. The girl turned around and came back so I asked her could she help me get to room 310 Ms.porters room. luckily her class was right next to mine. While walking to class we saw a lot of cute guys. One thing I can say about California, they have a lot of cute guys. When I got to Ms.Porter's class we had to do introductions. I had gotten up to do my introduction and someone said " damn lil mama bad" under their breath but I let it slide. I finished my introduction and as everyone else finished the teacher said since it was the first day we could socialize and get on our phones. I got on my phone and listened to music since I didn't know anyone. About 15 minutes of listening to music and playing games on my phone I felt someone tap my shoulder. I looked up "yeah" I said. "Lil mama my nigga Nhamir trying to see if he can get your number" I couldn't do anything but laugh. I looked up at the Nhamir guy and he was one of the cute guys I'd passed in the hallway. "No , I don't know y'all and to get my number he has to ask for himself not you." He smacked his lips and with that he walked off. I put my headphones back in and zoned back out but soon felt another tap. I turned around but this time it was Nhamir. When I tell y'all my body turned into a waterfall oh my gosh he is so fine up close. "Ma , why you playing hard to get." He said to me I look up and smiled at him "I'm not I dont just give my number to strangers love." He smacked his lips " I'm not trying to be a stranger to you baby I'm trying to be you're man." I smiled. "I have a man already. His name is Jesus would you like to meet him," he laughed. "Oh you got jokes huh okay lil mama" I laughed and I decided he could have my number he seemed like a cool individual "2165280933" I told him and he smiled and sat in the seat next to me. For the rest of class we'd laughed and talked and his friend Devon even joined us. When the bell rung for us to go to our second period Nhamir and the girl who helped me to class was there. "Hey" I spoke to the girl "hi" she shyly spoke back I sat next to her and we got to know each other I found out her name was Amira. She was a senior. While Amira and I were talking she was warming up to me and she told me a little about her life . She has an abusive family and doesn't really have friends. But I can't see why she's a really pretty and nice person. Nhamir walked up and sat in the desk behind me and all three of us talked and got to know our classmates. My next class period I was an office aid.i didn't do anything but sit in the office and file papers and get on my phone. The bell rang and we had 35 minutes for lunch. I didn't want any school food so I decided I'd go get Taco Bell. I had invited Amira with me she didn't have money so I bought us both 5 dollar boxes. We had 10 minutes left so we went back to school and sat in the car. Nhamir walked out with some girl and they were talking and she tried to kiss him but he pushed her away. He walked off so I decided to be petty I screamed out my car window "HEY NEW BOYFRIEND" he looked towards my car and ran to my car smiling "boyfriend huh" he said . I laughed and we allied for a minute and he seen my Taco Bell box next to Amira and asked if he could have it so I gave him the taco I had in my box . The bell rang to go to our fifth period and I didn't have a class with anyone boring. While in the class the girl that was with Nhamir earlier kept looking at me laughing and I didn't see anything funny so I asked her "what's funny" and she said me so I got up and asked her what was funny about me . Before I could do anything the teacher told us to calm down and soon after the bell rang to go home. I seen Amira walking and I asked her if she wanted me to take her home and she said she was okay but I insisted as we pulled up to her neighborhood it was really run down but I was always taught to never judge so I didn't . My family was sort of on the wealthy side of town versus hers was on the poor side but friendship holds no value. As she got out the car and walked up to the door it swung open and she was dragged in. I quickly got out of my car with my .9mm and rushed to the door to see Amira getting kicked by a man screaming. I shot at the ground and he screamed and turned around to see my gun pointed at him. Who the fuck are you he said and I told him I was a friend of Amira's and he said a friend huh well let the bitch stay with you cause I'm tired of her shit. Amira stood up from the ground tears streaming her face and screamed I hate you and ran upstairs to get clothes when she came down I told her I would see if my mom would let her stay until she gets on her feet. When we got home I left Amira in the car and walked in the house my mom was in the kitchen cooking and I asked her would it be okay if Amira could stay for a while until she got on her feet and my mom agreed as long as she got a job . I went told Amira and she was happy. We got Amira settled in the guest room and went down to my mom and she got to know more about Amira besides what I told her. We decided we look for jobs over the weekend. That whole night we played games, ate and talked.
